GUESS WHAT?!?!?!? I GOT TO 292 documented by a doctor and Dr. Maher is HAPPY with that number!
I only have 3 things really standing in my way.
*Get my therapist to call the Psych Eval Dr. at VCU
*Get my gastro doctor to fax all my files to Dr. Maher
*Get my sleep study from Norfolk General Hospital faxed to Dr. Maher
These are simple things! I am so freaking excited! Will let you all know my surgery date! <3

So this past weekend my husband and I went to an event in Carlisle Pennsylvania. It was at a fairground. A HUGE one! I walked from one end to the other for 3 days. I drank lotsa Water and fluids, I ate half the portions of food I usually do because I wasn't hungry. And yet, I get on the scale....and still at 300. W.T.F?!?!?!
I am so frustrated I wanna cry!

congrats Aug! <3 I wish you all the best!!!!

I am so sorry Alicia. *hugs* I hope you get it figured out soon. Maybe its time to get mean

So far, I am down to 300. I have even been down to 298. But because I have been going through some things health wise. Alot of the medications they have put me on, have hindered my weightloss goal. Blegh! It sucks honestly!
-
Dr. Maher wants me to get to 285 I started at 311. Thats ALLLLLLLLLOOOTTTT of weight to lose. He suggested weight watchers. So I guess I am going to have to suck it up and do it that way. Ugh! I dunno. I really really want this surgery. And I know I need to do this. But sometimes its hard to get over the hump of food. Know what I mean?
-
I too am at VCU, and excited, because everyone has been so nice, and informative. No matter how many times you call and ask questions, they never make you feel like a bother. Good luck to all that are undergoing the surgery soon. If only I could lose the weight I need to. Its so frustrating!
Have a great day everyone!

I am calling VCU Weightloss Surgery Center tomorrow. I am so frustrated about trying to lose this weight. I have probably lost the same 20 pounds over and over. I have been sick with one thing or another and so its hindering my weightloss.
I wish everyone the best of luck on thier surgeries, and on thier adventures in getting to the surgery date! <3

I am with Dr. Maher at VCU Weightloss Surgery Group. I dont know about any other groups doing it. He wants me to get down to 285. It is to prove that I WILL do this. I am actually okay with it. Its just frustrating
-
I am with the VCU/MCV group of bariatric doctors, and I have heard great things. I am still trying to lose my last damn 10 pounds. Its so freaking frustrating. I swear I have lost this same 26 pounds over and over again. But what can you really do? Im just so frustrated and angry!
-
That seems kinda odd Alicia. Its your right to know wtf is going on. Doesn't matter what they want to do, its your dang right! I would show up in the office and meet face to face with the insurance specialist!
-
So just an update. I have lost a total of 16 pounds. Although, I lost the same 8 pounds about 6 times. I am hoping these last 10 pounds come off fast. Thats all thats holding me up from getting the surgery. He wants me at 285. Damn this is hard. Sometimes I really just wanna give up! *frustrated sigh*
-
I was talking to my therapist today about that actually. Doing a preop diet. Basically doing high Protein Drinks and whatnot. I guess I will see.
-
Hey ya'll!!! I went to my psych evaluation. It went fairly well. Although I have been denied for the time being until I get back into therapy. So I called today and scheduled it with my normal therapist. Once she and I have a mental health schedule down, and I fax it to the psychiatrist at VCU, she will release me for surgery. If only now I could lose these stupid 26 pounds. I keep losing, gaining, losing, gaining. Its an unending battle. I sometimes want to just give up.
-
I sure as hell hope so Its just so frustrating at times. I would sometimes like to give up. But I know in the long run, this is my goal, and I WILL reach it!
-
I have my Psych Eval on May 15th at VCU. I still have to get down to 285lbs. and lately, I am gaining weight, but losing inches. So I am confused. I guess I will call and inquire as to what to do next.
-
Hey ya'll. I am in the process of losing the preop weight that Dr. Maher wants me to lose. I am down 8 pounds and have 16 more to go. Is anyone else from the Richmond area? I live in New Kent, Va, but am having my surgery at VCU.
Thanks in advance!
